formation of a thrombus with the risk to be detached and cause a cardiovascular episode

a serious or even fatal cardiovascular event (ischemic stroke or heart attack, or pulmonary embolism, etc.)

gestational abortions from thrombosis in the developing placental vessels

The results of gene testing determine whether it is necessaryor not to:

adjust diet

undergo a chronic vitamin supplement prophylactic therapy

administrate a drug prophylactic therapy (e.g. salospir, sintrom etc)

administrate a specific heparin based anticoagulant, during pregnancy

LABORATORY HEMATOLOGICAL TESTING

In the genomic analysis of thrombophilia, a set of individual genes are analyzed.

The main test sets we propose are:

CVD-4 IVD is the basic thrombophilic gene analysis kit, which includes the following genes:

Factor V Leiden (1619Α)

Prothrombin (G20210A)

MHTFR (C677T)

β-fibrinogen (-455G / A)

CVD-20 Research is the complete gene analysis package for mutations or polymorphisms, and is recommended for pregnant women and those with a personal or family history of thrombophilia. The genes included are:

Factor V Leiden (G1601A)

HR2 (H1299R)

MTHFR (C677T)

MTHFR (A1298C)

PROTHROMBIN (G20210A)

β-fibrinogen (-455G / A)

FXIII (V34L)

PAI-1 (-675 4G/5G)

PAI-1 (-844G / A)

GPIIIa

APOB

ACE

GPIa(C807T)

APOE2/Ε3/Ε4*

PAI-2 (Ser413Cys)

eNOS G298A

EPCRH3 (A4600G)

EPCRH1 (G4678C)

LPA (A5673G)

Caution

It is always important to consult a qualified health professional before doing any genetic testing to make sure you fully understand the conditions being tested and the explanation of the results
